Series Title:   Exposing the Near Enemy [Part II of IV]

In this episode Val and Nathan explore several topics relevant to the LDS faith journey through the lens of the "near enemy". Their focus in this advanced-content episode includes an analysis of: 

**Faithfulness as the near-enemy of personal integrity 

**Checklist obedience as the near-enemy of personal transformation 

**Leadership by seniority/nomination/inheritance as the near-enemy of leadership by attraction 

**Placating as the near-enemy of true reform (specific to current queer issues) 

**Pedestalizing as the near-enemy of gender equality 

This (and every) series endeavors to help faith-expanding Latter-day Saints better understand ourselves and our faith institution so that we all might connect, heal, and transform.
